hubergroup Chemicals, one of the largest manufacturers of chemicals with a strong presence in India, is presenting its portfolio of PU resins, UV oligomers, polyesters, pigments and pigment concentrates at the American Coatings Show from 30 April – 2 May, 2024, at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis. A special focus will be on UV technology and products for the wood coatings market. The company will be present at stand 2638.
The biennial American Coatings Show + Conference this year follows the theme, ‘Innovations in Coatings Technology: Shaping Our Future.’ This is also the theme of the hubergroup Chemicals booth, where the company will be presenting its comprehensive portfolio and inviting visitors to engage in dialog with its experts.
In a sustainable and future-oriented manner, hubergroup Chemicals will be paying particular attention to UV technology and products for wood coatings, including UV resin and UV monomer products. These form an effective and efficient alternative to traditional air, moisture, and thermal-cured coatings, because they offer faster curing times, reduced energy consumption, and improved coating performance. The portfolio also includes raw materials for printing inks and overprint varnishes such as resins, additives and colorants.
“The United States is one of the most dynamic markets in the world with great growth opportunities. The origins of hubergroup go back well before the American Declaration of Independence and have their roots in printing inks. Based on this experience and knowledge, we offer a portfolio of products that goes far beyond that – including the latest innovations for the coatings sector, which we are proud to present at the American Coatings Show,” says Taner Bicer, board member and managing director, hubergroup.
“Sustainability, efficiency and effectiveness are at the forefront of our coatings portfolio. Our product innovations for America are particularly exciting for large customers as well as niche players because we can produce our specialty chemicals ourselves and tailor them to the individual needs,” says Greg Bengtson, president hubergroup Chemicals USA.
